We will be after the budget. Punt is making a come back. Tacofries will be 500 punt and 600 for a large one.

They look nice and messy whatever they are.

Not Ireland.

It will be a joint effort

If Ireland put a euro into a stong vice they could compress it somewhat.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 25-11-2011 10:22PM

Any truth to the story that a test run of the Punt was carried out by the central bank during the week?

Laois_Man · 25-11-2011 10:26PM

I don't understand why anyone would say we're too small. It's not about the size of the country. The size of Anglo Irish Bank was way out of proportion to the size of the country!

im only saying its too small cause i read an article there that said if the eu injected 540billion into a few countries it would keep the whole eu stable. since our overall debt is less than that i dont see how we could take it down!

if theres any truth to the article i have no idea !!!

I think we should join the pound but call it the 'Eire' or something like that.

Do you have any finance background OP? Perhaps you can let us know your opinion.

I don't think we would want to collapse the euro nor do I think we could.

I don't know anything about that article. But just to put it into perspective, the 6 Irish banks combined have debts well over half of what Lehman Brothers owed. This, combined with the fact that the markets are already freaked out, to me means that yes, we could bring it down!

If we wanted it to collapse tho, we'd be better off waiting for someone else to do the job!

If the OP can do some basic addition and get it right within 3 billion or so, there's a nice auditor job available in euro land.:D

NO
But we really really really do not want it to collapse. It would be an economic disaster not just for us but the economic world.

tacofries · 25-11-2011 11:10PM

well,just say the euro collapsed and we took control over the supposed oil and gas fields, by disregard of any contract with norway. since the euro is ruined it doesnt really matter if were then thrown out of the eu does it! since oil and gas are a demanded material would it not leave us with the makings of a strong currency. I know taking control of it would be breaking the rules but if we sold cheap oil would countries not overlook it as at the end of the day it looks like every countries in it for themself! Just wonderin how it would all work! i expect the replies shall be funny :P
